Many farmers In eastern Ore
gon are finding that windbreaks
grown from Oregon forest nur
sery trees pay good dividends in
a relatively few years, says C. R.
Ross, extension fram forester at
O.S.C. Aside from making the
farm home more livable and at
tractive, windbreaks reduce feed
costs where used to protect stock
corrals and cut fuel costs by pro
tecting homes from driving win
ter winds.
The Oregon forest nursery, op
erated by the state board of for
estry, will fill orders until March
1 at $2.50 per thousand plus ship
ping costs. If planting is not pos
sible that early they can be
"heeled in" by placing roots in a
small trench and keeping them
covered and moist, says Jack
man. Varieties recommended east of
the Cascades are Ponderosa pine,
Douglas fir, black locust, Rus
sian olive, Austrian pine and Ar

From Sheepskin to Sheep
There ren't too many college
graduates in our town. Good honest
thinking, yes. ..but most folks went
from high school into farming.
No harm In that! But I admire
Veterans like Dick Newcomb...
who'a 23, but going to college under
the G.I. Bill of Rights. Intends to
be a sheep farmer but a better
Informed, more scientific farmer,
with more know-how!
And veterans like Dick aren't let
ting anything interfere. What litt'e
relaxation they allow themselves is
in the form of needed exerci-re, or
books, or conversation and an occa
sional glass of beer with friends.
Seems as if, just by having their
education postponed, they've put
a higher value on it . . . arid on
things like temperance (that glass
of beer, for instance) , understand,
ing, and goed citizenship. And
from where I sit, when Dick geta
his sheepskin he won't have lost
much time. He'll be an even better

New telephone rates will go into effect with the next telephone bills,
beginning with those dated January 11. These new rates have been
approved by the Public Utilities Commissioner of Oregon following
extensive hearings. Increased costs reduced the current earnings of
this business in Oregon to a point far below even the minimum
generally conceded as necessary. Our rates, generally, have not
. been increased since 1921 in most Oregon cities and towns.
Our policy with respect to earnings and service will continue to
be: To render an ever improving telephone service at a cost as low
as is consistent with financial safety and fair treatment to employees.
